  1. They're not LITERALLY stranded in Thailand of course. SOME of them really can't go back to Russia if they want to avoid being conscripted, jailed, or murdered. Yes many Russians who really shouldn't be going back do run out of money / visa options and do go back. Over time there will be more of those unfortunates. Many can avoid going back for a long time or even indefinitely with visa options they might be able to afford, moving along from one country to the next mixed with maximum visa runs, merit based immigration if highly skilled, or seeking asylum in a western country if they have a strong case. Every Russian has their own story.
  2. My understanding and this has of course never been tested is that if elected president while in prison, he would be let out as long as he is president. Of course trump would become a president for life as he's obviously a wannabe dictator so that would take care of it. Also the new president if not him could pardon him like Nixon was pardoned.
  3. Credible reporting makes any journalist in Russia vulnerable to arrest, including of course Russians. It's a line they've crossed arresting this American. The Real Reason Russia Charged a WSJ Reporter With Espionage | Time
  4. Yes, it's possible. But more indictments are coming. Even more serious ones.
  5. Most of the time he was there there was no genocidal war against Ukraine.
  6. Cohen went to jail for doing what Trump ordered him to do. Is that justice?
  7. I hope and indeed expect that the judge will order the twice impeached Florida man to muzzle any speech or social media that can even remotely be seen as inciting or predicting violence. Violation would mean contempt of court charges.
  8. Trump faces more than 30 charges related to business fraud. Makes sense for the greatest grifter con man the world has ever seen. Georgia is next. Then the DOJ
  9. In Russia being a legitimate journalist is illegal. North Korea redux.
  10. About age 5 and not much.
  11. Not really. The Russian POV is that actual fighting is mostly for the underclass and racial / provincial minorities. Not all that different than how the U.S. military is set up but that's another story.
  12. This all goes back to fascist governor DeSantis's cynical ambition to become president on an all culture wars Kill Woke agenda. I don't believe that that he actually believes the garbage he is pushing.
  13. History of the World Part Ii. From Mel Brooks age 96 that flippin' legend.
  14. Hordes won't come. Don't worry.
  15. Watched the pilot of Lucky Hank. I found it only mildly amusing but because of Bob Odenkirk and a few other good actors I'll keep watching it at least for now. It's set at a provincial small college around the English department. Reflecting typical real life the staff is diverse. Only the more irrationally "anti woke" brigade would be offended by a show accurately reflecting modern reality. A secular small American college now would be expected to have a diverse English staff. The plot of the pilot featured a very annoying over entitled prima donna writer boy again reflecting a student characteryou'd expect to see on such modern campuses. Annoying in real life but entertaining to see in a show. In the pilot we learn.why Hank is labeled Lucky.
  16. Small. Even smaller in person. Historian explains why ancient statues always have small penises | Metro News
  17. Not David's. It's borderline micro. Republicans are both ridiculous and dangerous. The latest from fascist DeSantis to teach that racism is only a theory, and other theories such as racism doesn't exist should be talk with equal time. You almost couldn't make up how stupid they are.
  18. Gayrope? No. That youtube guy is not such a moron.
  19. A more detailed answer than you would want to hear (unless you're a Russian abroad):
  20. He wasn't ready for prime time. Past tense used intentionally. His star has already faded. Which yes, does mean criminally corrupt insurrectionist grifter trump gets the nomination unless the republicans wake up and realize he can't win the general.
